Of the two… I much prefer the Eagle Rare.I got lucky at Wal-Mart yesterday.View attachment 224195
Angels Envy finished Rye is some seriously good stuff. Expensive, but worth it imho.i prefer a good cognac, so naturally angels envy is the easy bourbon choice - but damn I love a good rye, too. definitely still developing a palate and taste for the finer notes though.
I really like Basil Hayden's dark rye, under $40 at Total Winei prefer a good cognac, so naturally angels envy is the easy bourbon choice - but damn I love a good rye, too. definitely still developing a palate and taste for the finer notes though.
Enjoying a slice of pumpkin spice cheesecake with a couple fingers of Henry Sipes double oaked, barrel smoked rye.
A bit pricy at 60ish, but with a rather unique flavor profile that sips like a dry wine, then finishes smooth and smoky, with just a touch of sweet.
Pairs very well with the pumpkin spice and the tang of the cheesecake.
I pick up my Birthday Bourbon for MSRP every year. Been doing it every year for a very long time. I remember when it was $39 and dust collected on the bottles because nobody wanted it.Heads up guys!
2 people on a Facebook bourbon group just scored bottles of Old Forester Birthday bourbon for pretty damn close to msrp. One at a Costco, the other at a Meijer near Marion IN iirc.

Blanton's is pretty easy to find, at MSRP, around here if you shop hard enough for it or make a good connection at a well stocked shop. Eagle Rare seems to be the hardest one to find lately, and I'm not sure why, but then I've never been a fan. Weller is pretty hard to get, seems to come in periodically and then vanish even faster.Anyone have thoughts or tasting notes on Heaven's Door?
FWIW, my own tastes (for drinking neat) lean towards the wheated bourbons with favorites being Weller, Basil Haydens, Eagle Rare and I've had a glass of Blanton's which I really liked and would like a bottle, but only if I can find it at retail. My value bottles are Larceny and Elijah Craig.
The Eagle Rare I had was a single barrel select that I just lucked upon. I think it was the second bottle I ever bought, lol! Though I saved that to share with my future SIL.

I measure all the wheated offerings against Maker's Mark. MM is also a great value bottle. Weller, if it can be found, beats it, and is lower priced, which I find unbelievable.
I have tried Heavens Door and really enjoyed it. Sadly I don’t recall specific tasting notes other than it being an easy drinker with a smooth finish.Anyone have thoughts or tasting notes on Heaven's Door?
